Media Junkie
Media has never been a huge part of my life it wasn't until college that I even really got hooked on the whole facebook craze. Don't get me wrong I had Hotmail, MSN messenger and facebook in high school but I went on them maybe once a week. Partially because where I grew up we didn't have high speed internet or anything fancy until this past summer when I went home and had online classes that needed it. But even now I go to class come back turn on my computer check facebook and any homework I have and thats about it. My emails come directly to my phone so thats one less thing that I have to worry about checking. When I back home I don't even hardly touch my computer, I'm out on the farm where I want to be or at work doing my job. I can't stand now that my boss will even text me when he wants me to come into work. I just feel like sometimes we need to take a step back and look at the mess we are creating for the future. Now not to give the wrong impression I still waste a fair amount of time to my computer and phone use but it's not to the point where I couldn't live without either of them.

I totally agree with you about needing to take a step back and look at how much media is used. I, personally, become annoyed when people are so focused on media that they cannot hold a face to face conversation without checking their phone in mid-conversation. This is incredibability rude to me. It makes me feel like I am not important enough to hold their full attention for a small conversation.
